Ezekiel 16:14-15 “I dressed you in my splendor and perfected your beauty,” says the Sovereign Lord. “But you thought your fame and beauty were your own.”
This is man’s greatest downfall. The idea that all that he is, all that he knows, all that he is capable of doing – that all of it is his own doing. That he is equal to me, or worse yet, that he is better than I, more knowledgeable than I, more capable than I. Do you not recall? Do you not know history? This is how your enemy lost his place in Heaven – attempting equality to me. How little you actually know. How unwise you actually are.
